Doctor Who was very different from 1963 to 1989 than it is today. New series fans have scrutinized it for its bad visuals and special effects, weird planets, and low production values. Take all this into account when you're deciding. Also remember that classic Who also ran in a serialized format, with stories ranging anywhere from 1 to 12 episodes to complete one story arc. There were eight classic Doctors so you have some options. Here is a list of good starting points and the year in which they were broadcast:  An Unearthly Child (1963) The War Games (1969) Spearhead from Space (1970) Terror of the Autons (1971) The Three Doctors (1972-73) The Time Warrior (1973-74) The Ribos Operation (1978) The Keeper of Traken (1981) Kinda (1982) The Five Doctors (1983) There is no reason to watch the series chronologically, if you don’t find it interesting. Track recurring characters and monsters that you’re interested in. If you like the Master or Cybermen, track down all the episodes they appear on by using the internet. There are several fan websites that track characters and monsters and present a full list of episodes they appear in. In the late 1960s and the 1970s the BBC wanted to reuse videotape so they wouldn't have to keep buying more, and as a result, multiple episodes from the first three Doctors' eras were "lost to time." Thankfully though, all of the Third Doctor's era has been recovered and missing episodes are starting to turn up in unexpected places. So there is hope yet. Let the cliffhanger hang and leave it there. Either watch the next episode the night after or the next week, or you can watch an episode from a different story and then come back.

TL;DR in English: Decide if you want to do this. Pick a good starting point. Follow trends you enjoy. Consider the 90+ missing episodes. Don't watch all of the episodes of a story in one sitting.

Make the square 5 by 5 inches (13 by 13 cm) and the rectangle 1 by 3 inches (2.5 by 7.6 cm). Cotton works best, but you can use any lightweight fabric you want. Use your ruler to measure the fabric and mark where you need to cut it with a piece of chalk. Then, cut along the chalk lines to get the 2 pieces. Make sure to cut the fabric carefully to avoid jagged edges. Then, add a line of hot glue along the raw edge on the right (print) side of the fabric. Press the edges together to create a seam.  If desired, you may also sew a straight stitch about 0.25 in (0.64 cm) from the raw edge of the fabric to secure the edges together. Be careful not to touch the hot glue with your bare fingers. You may want to wear gloves or use the ruler to press down on the edges of the fabric. Once the glue is cool and the edges are secured, turn the tube of fabric so that the right sides are facing out and the raw edges of the seam are hidden. Then, flatten the tube and position the glued seam so that it is in the center of 1 side of the rectangle, not on the edge. Make sure that the ends are even. Then, add a line of hot glue along the fold on the inside of the tube. Press the edges together using your gloved fingers or a ruler. If desired, you may also use an iron to press the tube and the folded ends before you add the glue. This may help to keep the tube flat. Lay the small strip so that the right side is facing down and apply a line of hot glue down the center of the strip. Then, fold 1 of the long sides over to the center of the strip and apply another line of hot glue over the edge of the strip. Fold the other side over that 1 and press it down to secure it. If desired, you may iron the folded strip before you glue it. This may help to keep it flat. Loosen your grip on the center slightly to expose the area between the folds. Then, apply a few dabs of hot glue to the areas between the folds and press the folds back together. Repeat this on both sides of the bow to secure the folds in the center. You can experiment with...

TL;DR in English: Cut a square and a rectangle out of a piece of lightweight fabric. Fold the square piece in half with the wrong sides facing out. Invert the tube of fabric so that the right sides are exposed. Fold the ends in by 0.25 in (0.64 cm) to hide the raw edges. Fold the small strip so the edges overlap and secure them with glue. Pinch and fold the middle of the fabric into the shape of an accordion. Wrap the smaller fabric piece around the center of the bow. Attach a clip to the back of the bow tie using hot glue.

Ask anyone in a group if they’d like to perform a fun trick with their hand.  Let any potential volunteers know that the trick isn’t dangerous and won’t hurt. It’s just fun and surprising. Make sure you and your volunteer have access to a table or other nearby flat surface before performing the trick. Ask your volunteer to put either of their hands onto a flat surface, but with the middle finger folded underneath. The back of the middle finger and the fingertips of all other fingers should be resting against the table or flat surface. Your volunteer’s hand should remain in this position. Instruct your volunteer to lift each fingertip off of the table, with the ring finger last. Have them lift first their thumb, then pointer finger, then pinky finger from the surface of the table. They should be able to move each of these with ease. Ask your volunteer to lift their ring finger from the table last, which they are very likely not to be able to do.  Enjoy the surprise and amusement of your volunteer and other guests. Have others try the same trick themselves if they don’t believe it. Try on both right and left hands as well. You can tell your audience that the trick works because the middle and ring finger are controlled by the same tendon in the hand, so one cannot easily be lifted when the other is folded. The other fingers are controlled by separate tendons so they can be moved independently.  Make sure that anyone trying the trick keeps their middle finger folded under and that this finger and all other fingertips remain flat on the table.

Add a few drops of water, then place a heat-safe glass bowl on top. Add ½ cup (108 grams) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of jojoba oil, and 1½ tablespoons (21.32 grams) beeswax pellets. Hold off on the aloe

Place your oils and beeswax in a double-boiler. Melt the oils and beeswax. Pour the mixture into a blender and let it cool 1 to 1½ hours. Blend the mixture while slowly adding the aloe vera gel. Add 5 to 8 drops of essential oil. Mix everything together, then transfer it to a clean, glass jars. Store the jars in the fridge.

Graphic jersey tunic dresses and short, print A-lines are new Emo staples that are a must for the warmer months. Opt for dark colors with statement-making designs, like a music promo or a checkerboard or skull print. If you love your flannel or plaid, try cutting off the sleeves and/or knotting the front across your belly to make it the length that you want. You can do the same with your favorite T’s or vintage shirts. You can, of course, always buy new tanks and belly shirts, too. Go for ones with graphics, prints, or quotes that have something to say about who you are. If you’d like a two-piece, try a halter top with a full-coverage bottom with low-cut legs. One-pieces with ruching and low-cut legs are also tres chic.  Black, red, or pink are generally your best bets, color-wise. If you’d like a pattern, go for horizontal stripes or polka dots. You could also opt for a statement-making graphic. One-piece cut-out suits with slashes across the front or holes on each side are also new Emo trends. For a masculine swimsuit, consider shorts that combine black with bright graphics. Beanies or black bowlers are probably not the best option for summer since they’re hot and don’t provide much sun protection. Opt for a straw boater hat to keep the simple, retro feel with a cooler fit and a wider brim. Alternatively, try a floppy sun hat in black or bold pink. Thick-rimmed wayfarers are classic Emo. However, any oversized shades will do the trick. Try black rims with a bold pop of color on the arms.

TL;DR in English: Add dresses to your wardrobe. Adapt your shirts into tanks and belly shirts. Get retro-cut swimwear. Switch up your hat. Protect your eyes with oversized sunglasses.

When you’re a teenager in high school, the last thing you’re thinking about is a job you may have in your 20s or 30s. Unfortunately, however, you need to. Posts you write and upload as a teenager can and will be found when you’re an adult. While you may delete the post from your social media account, that doesn’t mean it’s completely deleted from the internet. Stop and seriously think about everything you post on social media when you’re a teenager. Before you post something, ask yourself if it’s something your parents would post online. If your parents wouldn’t post it, don’t post it. Posting photos online, in and of itself, is not a problem. However, there are some types of photos that should never be posted online and others that shouldn’t be posted often. Some types of photos are actually illegal to post online and you can get into serious trouble if you do post them. Other types of photos make you look rude, mean, petty, ignorant, or full of yourself. Certain types of photos can get you kicked out of school, kicked off a team or club, put in detention or expelled, or even prevent you from being hired for a job in the future.  Never post sexual, nude, or even partially nude photos of yourself or someone else. Never post an embarrassing photo of someone else. Never post a photo that is intended to be harmful or hurtful to someone else. Avoid posting too many selfies, they may give the wrong impression about you to future employers. While you have the right to your own opinion, you should be very careful where you write that opinion and with whom you share that opinion. If possible, if your point of view is way out of the mainstream, you want to consider not writing it down at all, or only writing it down where you can write an intelligent explanation to go with it. In other situations, you may think that posting an opinion or view online is funny (even if you don’t believe it), but in reality, it’s rude, harmful, and possibly illegal. Just because someone you know has posted an opinion or extreme view...

TL;DR in English: Think twice before posting anything online. Avoid posting photos online that may ruin your future. Keep your rude opinions or extreme views to yourself. Use the internet for positive reasons only.

Fill a saucepan with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water, then place a heat-safe glass bowl on top. Add ½ cup (108 grams) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of jojoba oil, and 1½ tablespoons (21.32 grams) beeswax pellets. Hold off on the aloe vera and essential oil for now. Turn the heat up to medium and allow the water to come to a simmer. Let the oils and beeswax melt, stirring occasionally. You are ready once they turn liquid and translucent. Make sure that your blender can withstand heat (ie: glass). If your blender is plastic, let the mixture cool down first, then scrape it into the blender with a spatula. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor instead. Turn the blender onto a low speed setting. While it is turning, slowly pour 1 cup (236.5 grams) of aloe vera gel into it. From time to time, pause the blender, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Use a natural aloe vera gel. Don't use aloe vera juice or homemade gel. You don't have to do this, but it will give the cream a nice fragrance. If you use the right type of essential oil, you could also benefit your skin. For example:  Acne or oily skin: lavender, lemongrass, palmarosa, peppermint, rosemary Dry or aging skin: lavender, palmarosa, rose, rose geranium Normal skin: rose, rose geranium Any skin type: chamomile, palmarosa Blend the mixture or whip it by hand until it is light and fluffy. Use a rubber spatula to transfer it into several small glass jars. ¼ or ½-ounce (60 or 120-milliliter) jars would work the bet. You can keep one of the jars in your bathroom, but you should store the rest in the fridge so that they last longer. Use the cream morning and evening within 3 to 4 months.

Know the different types of rosacea. Examine your skin for signs of rosacea. Determine if you are more prone to developing rosacea.

Every person has their own perspectives and opinions that are formed based on their experiences. Acknowledging that other people have perspectives that differ from yours will help you to more holistically consider your own views and begin changing them.  You cannot begin to change your own perspectives without considering and acknowledging that your truth is not the only or right view. For example, if you believe that women can’t be heads of state or CEOs, understand that there are many people in this world who don’t share your view. Otherwise, countries like Norway or Great Britain or companies such as Yahoo wouldn’t have had women at their helms. A good exercise to help you understand different perspectives is to choose a cultural trait that you do not possess. Try to imagine how that cultural belief might impact your perspective on a number of issues. If you know someone who has different perspectives than you, ask him if you can have a friendly conversation and exchange views. This kind of conversation can help you to understand other viewpoints and may provide you context or information that may change your own perspective.  Ask your conversation mate lots of questions about his perspectives and what informs them. Ask if he’s ever had a change in his views or even how he develops his perspectives over time. Always be respectful of other perspectives and don’t debate or fight with a person about his views. Being respectful and not debating will give you the chance to consider his views and see how they fit with yours. You may find that even if don’t see eye to eye, that he has good ideas that can help you change your perspectives. Remember that you can learn from any conversation, even if it’s to support your own views. Arguing is counterproductive and may keep you from developing.

TL;DR in English: Acknowledge that other people have different perspectives. Talk to someone else about his perspectives and what informs them. Be respectful and don’t debate.

The easiest way to make a doll bed, no power tools required, is to use a wooden fruit crate or a cardboard shoe box. You can find a wooden fruit crate at the grocery store. They are often used to hold fruits like clementines, small oranges, or grapes and many grocery stores will give you empty fruit crates if you find one available in the produce section.  Many fruit crates already have small “legs” on each corner made of wood. You will use these legs to help the crate stand up off the ground when you transform it into a doll bed. Alternatively, you can use a standard cardboard shoe box to make the frame. Look for a cardboard box in good condition and made of stiff material that can hold some weight. You find most of the supplies for this method at your local hardware store. You will need to following supplies for this method:  A 4” x 4” fruit crate or a standard cardboard shoe box 16 wooden paint stirring sticks (12 short ones, 4 long ones) Wood glue (hot glue works too) Scissors Large binder clips Sandpaper or a sanding block Gesso or primer Acrylic paint in your desired color Measure the sticks and mark the 8 inch line on each with a pencil before you cut them. Then, score the sticks with the X-ACTO knife seven to eight times against a ruler and then cut them easily with the scissors or the X-ACTO knife. Lay one of the longer sticks next to each end so the bottom of the long stick extends 1 ½ inches past the bottom of the row of trimmed sticks. This is going to form your footboard. You can do this by laying one of the trimmed sticks across all the sticks so it is parallel and about ½ inch above the bottom of the five trimmed sticks. Drizzle the stick with wood glue and secure it over all the sticks so it holds them in place. Let the footboard dry for at least one hour with a heavy object, like a book, sitting on top of the sticks. Trim five of the short paint stirring sticks so they are 8 inches long using scissors and/or an X-ACTO knife. Then, place the five trimmed sticks side by side on a flat, clean...

TL;DR in English: Get a wooden fruit crate or a cardboard shoe box. Gather your other supplies. Trim seven of the short paint stirring sticks to 8 inches long. Place five of the trimmed sticks side by side of a flat, clean surface. Secure the footboard with wood glue, or hot glue. Repeat this process to make the headboard. Turn over the fruit crate or the cardboard box. Clamp the footboard into place using the binder clips. Follow the same process for the headboard. Sand the bed with sandpaper. Finish the bed frame by painting it with acrylic paint.

Rosacea is a common skin disease that appears as a tendency for reddened skin, primarily on the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. It can also appear on the ears, chest, and back. There are 4 main types of rosacea:  Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: This type involves redness and visible blood vessels that appear like a spider web. Papulopustular rosacea: This type involves redness and swelling along with acne-like breakouts. Phymatous rosacea: In this type of rosacea, the skin gets thicker and bumpy. Ocular rosacea: The eyes are involved in this form of rosacea where the eyes are reddened and irritated. The eyelids can be become swollen. Ocular rosacea is often described as if the person has a sty. There are a number of symptoms that are commonly associated with rosacea. Take a look at your skin in the mirror to see if you are experiencing any of the following:  Flushing and redness in the center of the face Spider veins (broken blood vessels) Swollen skin Sensitive skin Stinging or burning in the affected skin Dry, rough, or scaly skin In Papulopustular rosacea, acne-like breakouts are common, especially in areas where the skin is very red. In Phymatous rosacea, the skin and nose can become very bumpy and the skin pores may be very large. In Ocular rosacea, the eyes appear watery or bloodshot and may sting, burn, and feel like there is a foreign object in the eye. The eyes can be very sensitive to light. Rosacea is quite common and generally occurs between the ages of 30 to 50 years. Individuals who get it tend to be fair-skinned and have someone in their family with rosacea. Women are slightly more likely to be diagnosed with rosacea than men. Also, people who tend to blush more easily than other people are more likely to develop rosacea.

There are a large variety of programs and websites that will allow you to download copies of YouTube videos to watch later. Typically a website will ask for the URL (address) for the YouTube video, and will then make it available to download. Software programs can provide download options when you visit the video.  KeepVid is one of the most popular sites for converting YouTube videos into a downloadable format. They often offer several quality options and file formats, depending on the video. DownloadHelper is an extension for the Firefox web browser which will automatically provide you with download links for the video you are currently watching. Click the DownloadHelper icon in the top right corner of your browser when viewing the video for download options. When downloading the video, you are often given several options. Typically you can choose between FLV (YouTube’s native format) or MP4, a universal video format. The iPod cannot play FLV videos, so be sure to download an MP4 version. Different generations of iPod touches have different supported video playback options. In general, if your iPod Touch is older, it most likely won’t playback HD video.  The iPod Touch through the 3rd generation only supports video up to 480p. 4th and 5th Generation iPod Touches and the 7th Generation Nano support video playback up to 720p (HD). All iPod’s can only playback video at 30 frames per second. If the video is not compatible with your iPod, you can try converting it with another program.

. If you are unfamiliar with pouring concrete, follow the linked instructions to ensure you do so correctly. Be ready to move on to the next steps as soon as you pour. Many modern concrete mixes do not need to be compressed, or "tamped", before finishing, and tamping the wrong mix can weaken the slab. Confirm your decision with a professional before tamping. If you do decide to tamp, simply press the concrete down using any variety of tamping tool (hand, rolling, etc.). Find the straightest lumber 2x4 you can find and place it across the barriers holding the concrete in place, or "forms". The 2x4 should extend at least a foot past the forms in each direction. This object is referred to as a screed board. Using the technique described below, move the 2x4 down the forms to remove excess concrete.  Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface. Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete. Keep at least a 1 inch (2.5cm) hump of concrete in front of the edge at all times. This will fill any holes in the concrete's surface. Pour and level in stages for larger projects. At the end of the slab, push the excess concrete against the forms for easy removal with later tools.

TL;DR in English: Pour the concrete Compress the concrete only if necessary. Place a 2x4 across the concrete. Use the 2x4 to level the concrete.

Promise yourself that you'll wait 48 hours before doing anything. Remember, thoughts don’t have the power to force you to act. Sometimes extreme pain can distort our perception. Waiting before taking action will give your mind time to clear. Suicidal thoughts can feel overwhelming, and there’s no reason to fight them alone. Ask a professional for help by calling emergency services or contacting a suicide hotline. These services have trained people ready to listen to you and offer help 24/7. Suicidal thoughts and impulses are very serious. Asking for help is a sign of strength.   These services are free and anonymous. You can also call 911 (US), 999 (UK), or your emergency services number to be connected with a trained professional. If you are a university student, your university may have a suicide prevention line, often through campus police. If you have called for help and are still experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to go to the emergency room. Ask someone you trust to drive you, or call emergency services.  In the United States, it’s illegal for emergency rooms to turn you away in an emergency, even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t pay.  You can also look up mental health crisis centers or suicide prevention clinics in a directory. You may find low-cost options there. Your risk of suicide is increased if you’re alone with suicidal thoughts. Don’t bottle them up or keep them to yourself. Call someone you love and trust and share your thoughts with them. Sometimes just talking to a good listener can help you cope and be enough to calm your thoughts. Stay on the phone, or ask the person to come over and be with you so you’re not on your own.  You may feel worried or embarrassed about talking to someone about your feelings. The people who love you will not judge you for sharing these feelings with them. They will be glad that you called rather than try to handle everything on your own. You can't predict when new options might appear. It's impossible to know what might happen if you just wait...

Most machines have a setting which can be set by the operator to tighten the claw once in X amount of tries with a bit of randomization. Effectively, this means that the claw will be "loose" most of the time, but will tighten once in every X amount of turns (on an average––not necessarily every nth turn), so people only win every so often. There are also alternative, tricky programming for some machines. On such machines, there is a dual strength setting that causes them to grip with full strength initially and loosen after some time, giving the impression that the toy was caught but managed to slip. This effectively makes the machine more like a slot gambling machine rather than one depending on skill! Some older machines have claws with fixed strength from turn to turn. This is because these machines have claws with strengths that are fixed with a screw by opening the machine. In the case of such an older machine, skill can make quite a difference.

TL;DR in English: Understand the way the claw is programmed to close. Be aware of the peculiarities of the older machines.

Newborns show that they are hungry by moving their heads from side to side, opening their mouths, sticking out their tongues, sucking on their fingers or fists, or trying to suck on anything that comes near their cheek. Crying is actually a late hunger cue, and it’s best to try to feed your baby before they are crying because it’s easier to calm them down to eat. Babies sometimes fuss or cry for reasons other than hunger. If your baby is fussing or crying just an hour after a good feeding, they may need a diaper change, be tired, bored, overstimulated, or too hot or too cold. You can check these other things before trying to feed them again. When it’s time to feed your baby, sit in a comfortable chair and hold them with their head in the crook of your arm and your hand down around their bottom. Their head should be comfortably above their belly. This is called the cradle position  Never feed your baby when they’re lying flat on their back. This can cause them to choke or cause them to get ear infections. You can also hold your baby on your lap and let their head rest against your chest when you feed them. Just be sure to support their head with your hands and reposition them if they start to slide down off your chest. This position works well for babies that have reflux because they are more upright. If your baby is hungry, they will open their mouths to accept something that’s placed on their lower lip. Gently place the bottle nipple against their lower lip. If your baby turns their head away, they may not be hungry at this time, or they may be too uncomfortable to eat right now. Check for other reasons that they are fussing or crying, such as their diaper, before trying to feed them again. As you feed your baby, you want the nipple to stay full so that your baby doesn’t suck air. Keep the bottle tilted with the bottom pointed up while it’s in your baby’s mouth. As you bring the nipple up into your baby’s open mouth, they will latch onto it and start to suck and swallow. This is their natural response when...

TL;DR in English: Feed your baby when they show hunger cues. Hold your baby in a semi-upright position and support their head. Place the nipple against your baby’s lower lip to prompt them to open their mouth. Tilt the bottle to keep the nipple full of milk or formula. Allow your baby to draw the nipple into their mouth and suck. Look into your baby’s eyes and cuddle them or talk to them while feeding. Follow your baby’s lead for how much and how often to feed them. Wake your baby every few hours to eat during their first few weeks of life. Throw away any unused formula or breastmilk from each feeding after 1 hour.

Meditation is a fantastic way to clear your mind and escape reality; it is traditionally used to make the mind calm and peaceful. Proper meditation enables you to take your mind into a calm space and put reality on hold.. The best part is that meditation can be done in the comfort of your own home (or even bed) and requires no prior training or monthly membership.  Choose a peaceful environment, preferably one without distractions. The temperature should be comfortable, it should be as quiet as possible, and you should be able to be alone for 30 minutes. Find a comfortable position. Many people like to lay on the floor with their bodies relaxed, their feet pointed outwards, and their palms facing upwards. There is no “right” position in which to meditate, so find a position in which it is comfortable for you to lie still. You can also try the lotus position. Close your eyes. This allows you to tune out anything that is going on around you. If necessary cover your eyes with a mask or a towel. If you are in a noisy place, it may help to wear earplugs. Think of nothing. Relax completely, let your mind go free. Be aware of your breathing. Don’t necessarily try to control your breath, but simply breathe and be aware of it.  Expect good meditation to take practice. At first, it is almost inevitable that your mind will wander. However, with practice, you will be able to completely clear your mind during your period of meditation. When your mind does wander, bring your focus back to your breath.  Consider using downloadable meditation programs. Simply go to Google or YouTube and search for “meditation.” Listening to music is a fantastic way to clear your mind and make a mental escape from reality. Music has been scientifically shown to affect many different areas of the brain, and it can actually help you achieve self-awareness and regulate your mood. It is also a commonly used tool to engage in escapism.  If you are unsure of what type or genre of music to listen to, you can try to listen to ambient music or...

Amend the soil with compost or manure before you plant. Find a garden bed that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Space plants approximately three feet (90 cm) apart on all sides. Plant the valerian start in an area where it can grow tall. Place a wire mesh cage over the seedling to prevent birds from eating it. Water generously.

Though you will still be calculating displacement using a straight line, you will need to find the difference between an object's initial and final location when it moves in an arc.  Think of a girl sitting on a merry-go-round.  As she spins along the outside of the ride, she will travel in a curved path.  Angular displacement seeks to measure the shortest distance between the initial location and final location when an object isn't moving in a straight line. The formula for angular displacement is: θ = S/r, where "S" stands for linear displacement, "r" stands for radius, and "θ" represents angular displacement.  Linear displacement is how far an object travels along an arc.  Radius is the distance an object is from the center of a circle.  Angular displacement is the value we are looking for. Remember that radius is the distance from the center of a circle; some problems may give you the circle's diameter, in which case you will need to divide it by 2 to find the radius.  Here is a sample problem: A girl rides a merry-go-round.  Her seat is at a distance of 1 meter from the center (radius).  If the girl moves along an arc length of 1.5 meters (linear displacement), what is her angular displacement? Your equation should look like this: θ = 1.5/1. This will give you the angular displacement of the object.  After dividing 1.5 by 1, you are left with 1.5.  The angular displacement of the girl is 1.5 radians.  Since angular displacement calculates how much an object has rotated from its original position, it will need to be measured as an angle, not a distance.  Radians are units used to measure angles.

TL;DR in English: Find angular displacement when an object travels in a curved path. Input the linear displacement and radius values into the equation. Divide linear displacement by the radius.

Hue refers to the purity of an emerald's color, and it is one of three points to consider regarding color quality. Most emeralds have a blue-green tint, while others may have a yellow-green tint.  The most valuable have strong color, and are as pure green as possible without becoming dark. Tonal color refers to the lightness or darkness of an emerald. Natural emeralds range from very light to very dark, and the most valuable emeralds generally fall on the darker end of the scale. High quality emeralds generally have a tonal color that falls between medium green to strong green while not being oversaturated. Saturation refers to the strength of an emerald's color, and it is, perhaps, the most important aspect of color quality. A richer saturation means more brilliance, which means that the emerald reflects light better. Weak saturation will cause an emerald to look dull and flat. No one shape is inherently more valuable than another, but some cuts may reflect light more easily. The rectangular "emerald" cut is, unsurprisingly, the most common for emeralds. Round, oval, pear, teardrop, and cabochon cuts are also fairly common. In addition to maintaining a high degree of brilliance, emerald cuts allow gem cutters to yield the most saleable product from the rough crystal. Emeralds are a Type III gemstone, as rated by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This means that nearly all emeralds will have some inclusions, due to the softness of the stone.  Opt for emeralds that have non-threatening surface reaching fissures(ones that do not penetrate too deeply or loop around the stone). Do this to ensure there will be no risk of future breakage. Also it will guarantee the maximum brilliance of your stone through normal clarity enhancement regardless of type. After all it is universally expected that your stone will be clarity enhanced. The GIA rates emeralds from VVS to I3.  VVS (Very, Very Slightly Included) emeralds have inclusions that are identifiable under magnification but not to the naked eye. VS (Very...

TL;DR in English: Consider the emerald's hue. Look for a deep tonal color. Pick out an emerald with strong saturation. Consider the cut. Expect inclusions. Look at the inclusion ranking from the GIA. Ask about the oiling process or other clarity enhancements. Decide on an appropriate carat weight. Find out where an emerald comes from before you buy it.

Valerian doesn’t generally require a lot of fertilization unless the soil is poor. The soil should be between 5.5 and 7.0 in pH. The plants do well with some afternoon shade. They are large plants, so they need plenty of room to grow roots. If your valerian plants don’t tend to grow to a full four feet (1.2 m) tall, you may be able to plant them closer together. It can send out runners, so it may be best when offset from a vegetable or flower garden. Harvesting the blooms can keep it from being too invasive. Valerian leaves and roots are known for a strong, musty odor. The flowers can smell of vanilla, but are too strong for some gardeners. Keep this in mind before planting near a patio.  Valerian likes well-drained soil and plenty of water. Soak it every few days when you are not receiving regular rain.

TL;DR in English:


Wear clothes which fit properly. Wash your work outfits regularly. Keep your apron clean. Tuck in your shirt.

Knowing the cause of your blocked fallopian tubes may help your doctor formulate an effective treatment plan. Sexually transmitted infections are some of the most common causes of blockages. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs can lead to the development of scar tissue that blocks the fallopian tubes and prevents pregnancy. This can be a problem even if your STIs were treated and resolved. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can result from sexually transmitted infections and lead to blockages. If you have PID (or a history of PID), you have an increased risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes and infertility. In women with endometriosis, uterine tissue grows outside its normal location, implanting on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other organs. If you have endometriosis, know that it can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. If you ever had a uterine infection, perhaps in connection with a miscarriage or abortion, it’s possible that scar tissue formed and blocked one or both fallopian tubes. Although uncommon in the United States, pelvic tuberculosis may also cause blocked fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies are those in which the fertilized egg implants in the wrong place, usually in the fallopian tube. These pregnancies cannot grow to term, and when they burst or are removed, they can cause scarring and blockages. If you have ever had abdominal surgery, your risk of developing blocked fallopian tubes is higher. Surgeries on the fallopian tubes themselves are especially risky.

TL;DR in English: Understand that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to blocked fallopian tubes. Know the role of pelvic inflammatory disease in causing blocked fallopian tubes. Be aware of the potential risks associated with endometriosis. Recognize the role of uterine infections. Factor in past ectopic pregnancies. Consider past surgeries.

Like a REIT, a real estate investment group (REIG) pools the money of two or more people to purchase, develop, manage and sell properties. In many cases, the properties bought are apartments or a similar property type, and investors own one or multiple units within the building. Typically, this will involve a much larger initial investment than simply buying into a REIT, but a smaller one than buying a property yourself. It also lacks many of the inherent risks of property trading because the risk is shared among many investors.   Because these groups are generally much smaller than real estate investment trusts, members can aid in managing properties and gather tips and advice from other seasoned investors. This allows for more personal interaction with your investment. This involvement is not consistent throughout all REIGs. In some cases, the company that manages the REIG will do all of the advertising, management, and maintenance for investors. This allows investors to make money without any additional effort. REIGs function much like mutual funds because they do not have to be self-managed, and also have the fees that go with them. Be sure to investigate any potential REIG investment before committing your money to determine that their fee structure is fair. Also, look for indications of past success (or failure) that might allow you to determine whether or not the REIG is a safe investment.  Attend a model club meeting. BetterInvesting, an organization that provides investment education, holds free model REIG meetings in cities across the United States. These meetings explain what REIGs specifically do, inform you about local REIGs, and allow you to network with other like-minded locals. Go to www.betterinvesting.org and search for local chapters near you to find a model meeting.  Keep in mind that the investment of a portion of rental income is required to cover mortgage in the event of vacancies. When you've found the right organization for you, consider how much capital you can contribute. When you...

This is a simple step to looking professional.  Clothes which are too big can be baggy and look sloppy.  Clothes which are too tight will be uncomfortable and could be considered risqué. You want your clothes to look and smell fresh.  Be sure that you keep them clean and tidy by washing them as often as possible.  If you don’t have a lot of time to wash your clothes, consider using a drop-off service or a dry cleaner. You will likely only have one apron assigned to you.  It is important to wash this along with your clothes, but you will also want to keep it clean between washes.  Resist the urge to wipe your hands on your apron.  Wash your hands or carry a towel to wipe them on if you need to. If your apron gets dirty between washed, dab the stains with a damp towel.  Try using soda water to scrub stains out. Tucking your shirt gives you a more professional look.  Beyond that, it is important to keep your shirt secured so that it doesn’t accidentally get on the table or in someone’s meal.

Your girlfriend may have several options for handling a pregnancy. Before making a decision about what to do, make sure that she has good information about them.  Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and parent it. This may or may not mean marriage or a long-term relationship. The two of you should discuss your long-term relationship plans in addition to the pregnancy. Your girlfriend may want to have the baby and offer it for adoption. Your girlfriend may also decide to terminate the pregnancy (have an abortion). Laws regulating when and how a woman may elect an abortion vary by state. In some states, for example, a minor can make an abortion decision on her own, while parental consent must be provided in other states. Emergency contraception (“the morning after pill”) will not work if your girlfriend is already pregnant. These medications will decrease the likelihood of pregnancy only if taken within 5 days (depending on the specific medication) after unprotected sex. Deciding how to handle a pregnancy, or share the news of it, can be very stressful. Give your girlfriend time to think, and don’t force her to make a rushed decision. In the meantime, help her out with whatever she needs: sleep, food, relaxation, chores, etc. Maybe your girlfriend knows exactly what she wants to do about the pregnancy. On the other hand, she might be confused, unsure, or just not ready to make a decision. If she’s not sure, the two of you can start talking about your options and how to handle things.  Common options for handling a pregnancy including having the baby and parenting it (as a single parent or a couple), offering it for adoption, or terminating it (having an abortion). Each of these options brings unique concerns, so your girlfriend shouldn’t rush to make a decision without getting information and thinking things through. The decision is ultimately up to your girlfriend, so you should support her without being demanding. Don’t push your girlfriend one way or another. Avoid making statements like “You need to…”...

TL;DR in English: Learn about your options. Be patient. Talk about it. Help your girlfriend tell others. Ask for help. Get the information you need to make an informed decision. Talk it out or compromise if you don’t agree.

Since you are working with two different variables (inputs), you cannot add the formulas and plug in one input, you have to complete one function at a time. For example, if you are given f(x)=3x+2{\displaystyle f(x)=3x+2} and g(x)=4−5x{\displaystyle g(x)=4-5x}, and are asked to find f(2)+g(3){\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)}, you would start by finding f(2){\displaystyle f(2)}. When you plug in the 2, you get:f(2)=3(2)+2{\displaystyle f(2)=3(2)+2}f(2)=6+2{\displaystyle f(2)=6+2}f(2)=8{\displaystyle f(2)=8}. Make sure you are plugging in the correct variable to the correct function. For example, if g(x)=4−5x{\displaystyle g(x)=4-5x}, then: g(3)=4−5(3){\displaystyle g(3)=4-5(3)}g(3)=4−15{\displaystyle g(3)=4-15}g(3)=−11{\displaystyle g(3)=-11} The result will be the sum or difference of the two functions, given the provided variables. For example, if f(2)=8{\displaystyle f(2)=8} and g(3)=−11{\displaystyle g(3)=-11}, then: f(2)+g(3)=8+(−11){\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)=8+(-11)}f(2)+g(3)=−3{\displaystyle f(2)+g(3)=-3}.

This is the most common default username for D-Link routers. Many D-Link routers don't have a password assigned. If a blank password doesn't work, try "admin." If a combination of "admin" and blank passwords doesn't work, visit www.routerpasswords.com and select "D-Link" from the menu. Find your router model in the list and enter the username and password displayed. If none of the default login usernames and passwords work, press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router for about thirty seconds. The router will then reboot, which may take a minute. Once reset, you'll be able to use the default information to log in.

While basic vitamin C serum will last for up to two weeks, you should make a fresh batch of the moisturizing vitamin C serum every three days. If you want the serum to last longer, then you can store your vitamin C serum in the refrigerator for up to a week. Even though the serum will be somewhat protected from light in a dark glass bottle, you can also wrap the bottle in tin foil to make sure that no light can get to the serum at all. Before using the serum for the first time, you may want to test it on a small patch of your skin to make sure that it is not too acidic. Place a small amount on the inside of your wrist and wait a few hours to see if you have any reaction to it.  Do not use the serum if you notice any redness or a rash after using it. If you notice any burning or tingling, then you may want to add a little more water to the serum to reduce the acidity. Use your vitamin C serum twice daily after washing your face and moisturizing. If you used oil to make your serum, then the serum can take the place of your normal moisturizer. If you notice any tingling, burning, redness, or other reaction to the serum, wash it off right away and do not use it again.

TL;DR in English: Store your vitamin C serum. Test the serum on a small patch of your skin. Use the serum on your skin twice daily.

Scientists think that the way we respond to tickling has something to do with surprise and that we can control our response if we expect it. Think about it. Can you tickle yourself? Not very well because your body knows what is coming. The key to getting a good response may be surprise.  One good idea is to very lightly walk your fingers up and down your victim's sides. Or, you might try casually approaching the target. Put your arm around his shoulder or pull him into a hug. Then...tickle! Keep it up for a minute or so until you tire or he retaliates. As a slight alternative, go for a hug from behind and tickle his waist while you do so. Another strategy is the ambush attack. In this form, you will rely on complete and utter surprise. Wait for your target to round a corner, for example, and, when he appears, pounce! Make sure to use your momentary advantage to hit fast and hard, targeting the most vulnerable areas. Usually, one of the best and most accessible tickle spots will be his flanks around the rib cage. Go to town there. The armpits will also be exposed in a surprise strike. If your target is susceptible there, alternate between his underarms and flanks. If all goes well, your target should soon be laughing, tearing up, and rolling into a giddy ball on the ground. His defenses are down. You can now exploit his vulnerability and find other weak points.  Try the backs of the knees. This may only work in warm weather, if he is wearing shorts. The soles of the feet are often an excellent tickle spot and may not be exposed during normal activity. On the ground, though, you can definitely target them. Rely on your knowledge of the target. Recall his tickle spots and try to alternate from point to point rapidly. Moving in this manner will prevent him from mounting a defense. Consider tools that can help you reduce your quarry to a laughing ball of mirth. Different levels of softness or different textures should heighten the effect of the tickling.  A simple feather or a feather duster is one excellent...

TL;DR in English: Use the art of surprise. Target the sides. Target other known tickle spots. Use a brush, feather, or other device.

A breastfeeding pillow is a somewhat long-term investment. If you enjoy using it, and it works well for you and your baby, you will be using the pillow until you're finished breastfeeding. Keep this in mind when selecting your pillow.  Some mothers only breastfeed for 3 or 4 months. In this case, you may not need to worry about the length and size of the pillow. A baby in that age range should fit on most breastfeeding pillows without much trouble.  Some women choose to breastfeed longer. If you intend to breastfeed your child for a couple of years rather than a couple of months, go with a larger sized pillow that can support a bigger child. However, as a baby gets older he'll be able to hold his head up and control motor functions more easily. A pillow might not be necessary for support as you get past a year old. Your baby is not the only factor when selecting a breastfeeding pillow. You also need to keep in mind your own size and shape to make sure the breastfeeding pillow fits your body.  Many breastfeeding pillows are designed to strap around your torso so the pillow can support the baby's head and neck when you breastfeed. Try to select a pillow that will fit your midsection shortly after birth. It's helpful to imagine yourself 5 to 6 months pregnant, as this is a good gauge of the size you'll need.  Breastfeeding pillows come in different shapes: "c" shape, "o" shape, and the crescent shape. The "c" shape tends to be the most universal shape and generally fits the most body types while providing adequate arm support.  O-shaped pillows wrap around the entire body, which can be good if your need extra support after pregnancy due to complications or a c-section.  Crescent shapes are designed to wrap around the side of your body. They might not work as well for smaller women as the sides might fall on the back of the chair, sofa, or wherever you're sitting. Some crescent shaped pillows, however, are adjustable and can be maneuvered to fit multiple sizes. Fastening straps are a popular addition to...

If you haven't started crying yet but think you might, try distracting yourself from your sad thoughts. Play a game on your phone or try to joke around with a friend, or try engaging deeply in your math book or listening carefully and fully to what your teacher is saying. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your feelings and like you are about to cry, try creating some distance between yourself and your thoughts. To gain distance, try imagining yourself as an outsider viewing the situation that is making you sad. You can also try referring to yourself in the third person when you think about your situation. If you are sad about something that is not relevant to the present moment (e.g., something that happened in the past or will happen in the future), try focusing on only the present. To be mindful, pay full attention to your bodily sensations, all the information coming in through your senses, and your thoughts about those perceptions and sensations. You may be able to improve your mood by smiling, even if you don't feel like it. This is called the facial feedback hypothesis and it suggests that the relationship between emotions and the face is a two way street: though we typically smile when we feel happy, some evidence suggests that smiling may cause us to feel happier or otherwise help us to be less sad. If you have a pencil handy, try putting it in your mouth and biting it with your teeth. This will raise your cheeks and facilitate your smile. Try to change your mood by thinking about something really funny or something that makes you really happy. You can also try thinking about what is making you sad in a different way.   For example, you could try thinking about something hilarious you saw on the internet or something nice that your significant other did for you. To think differently about what is making you sad, consider this example. Say you are sad because you received a bad grade on an exam, and that you are upset because you think it means you are not smart. Try instead thinking about your bad...

TL;DR in English: Distract yourself. Create distance. Be mindful. Smile. Change your thoughts. Get social support.

Chances are your parents will check on you during your day home to either make sure you’re not faking, or to see if you’re feeling better.  If your parents are at home with you, then just pretend to sleep and be sure to act accordingly when they check in on you. If your parents are at work, call to check-in with them. This will make you seem responsible, and not seem like you're having fun. If they call to check on you from work, wait for the phone to ring three or three and a half times before you answer, and sound as tired as you can. If you do stay home, pretend to sleep a lot and gradually start "getting better".  Around mid-day, remove one or two of your symptoms. If you don't show any signs of improvement towards the end of the day, your parents might want to take you to the doctor, who will see that there's no illness to be found. If you think your parents will take you to the doctor, try to phase out the sickness or just admit it. You're supposed to be home sick in bed, remember?!  Don't leave or get caught outside of the house. If a neighbour or friend of your parents sees you, they might tell. Be sure to put away any games before your parents come home. If they see you've been having fun, they'll suspect that you were faking the whole time. Clear out your internet history so that they won't know you were playing on the internet during the day. Don't forget to especially clear this search from your history. Do not save bookmarks or download items on your computer; parents will notice that you did these things during your “sick day.” Delete this page from your browser history, so your parents won't see it and question you.

Have confidence. Dress in a flattering fashion. Make eye contact. Use body language. Flirt. Be upfront.

The further away from the fingers it is, the more sympathetic and understanding the person will be. If the heart line hugs close to the fingers, the person will be unfeeling, unsympathetic and critical.

Men are attracted to confidence. In fact, many men find confidence more attractive than pure physical beauty. Try to be a bit more assertive about your interests, goals, and ideas. This will prove attractive to most men.  It's important that you feel confident and attractive when trying to gain the interest of a man. In other words, do not try to be something you're not. Be yourself and be upfront about your interests and passions. This goes for online dating as well. While a cute profile picture might get a man to click on your profile, he won't end up messaging you if you have generic information included in your "About Me" section. Let your personality show in your online dating presence as well. When first meeting someone, most people assess them visually. If you're trying to seduce a man, make sure you dress in a flattering fashion to get his attention.  Remember, confidence is key. If you don't feel sexy, you won't appear that way to a man. If you're more comfortable in jeans and tees than dresses, try picking a flattering, sexy casual outfit rather than forcing yourself into an evening gown. If you're unsure how to dress in a flattering way, try asking a stylist at a department store to help you pick outfits that work for your figure or frame. When trying to get a man's interest, eye contact is important. Men often gauge sexual or romantic interest based on a woman's eyes and facial expression. Some studies propose this is because women are less likely to show interest with their bodies. Maintaining eye contact for the night can show a man you're interested. Do not be afraid to use your body to flirt. This can help a man see you are interested in him sexually.  Sit up straight and do not lower your chin. This makes you look confident about your body. Do not be afraid to use gentle, light touches. Touch his arm or shoulder. Place your hand on his knee. Tug at his hair. You should always find ways to flirt when first meeting a man.

Parents can install apps that help prevent teens from texting and driving. These apps can alert you to when your teen uses their phones while driving, and also when the teen turns off the app. Talk to your teen about using these apps on their phone and their purpose. You want to help them learn safe driving habits, not make them think you are spying on them.  Cellcontrol is a paid subscription service that provides a device that goes in the car which hooks to the app. The app blocks the phone from receiving or sending texts while the car is moving. It also blocks other features, like the camera. Drive Safe Mode is another app for parents that helps prevent the driver from sending and receiving texts. If you see someone who constantly texts and drives, consider having a conversation with them. You may want to ask them if they are aware of the dangers of texting and driving, or just tell them you feel uncomfortable when they do that while you ride in the car with them.  For example, if you have a teen driver, have a family discussion about the dangers of texting and driving. Discuss possible alternatives to help keep your teen off their phone. If you are in the car with someone who is driving, ask them not to text while you are a passenger. Say, "I am very uncomfortable with texting and driving because it is so dangerous. Will you please not text while you are driving me around?" If someone is trying to check their phone while driving, offer to read the text and respond for them. This keeps their eyes on the road, and they still get to send a text they feel is really important. Try saying, "I am happy to text them back so you can concentrate on driving. Just tell me what to say." Setting texting and driving rules in your family can help everyone, teen and adult drivers alike. Make it a rule that no one can text while driving, even the adults. This sets a good example for teen drivers and keeps everyone safe.  Set consequences for texting and driving. For example, your teen may lose driving privileges if they...

A character profile is a place where you keep important details and dates for every character in your story, from what their allergies are to the date that one really important thing happened. Do this for every character, no matter how small their role. There are a lot of ways you can organize this information:  Keep a file folder with notes for each character. Have a notebook where you keep the character details. Use a word document on your computer. Utilize the “notes” function on your smart phone. Write details on sticky notes and have a wall dedicated to character development where you can display them. Sometimes details about characters don’t make themselves apparent until you’re in the midst of writing. But—whatever details you can decide on up front, write them down. Things to include:  Their name, age, occupation, special skills, education, family details, height, weight, eye and hair colors, mannerisms, habits, and important dates. There are so many details you can include, and a lot of them may never make it into your story. But the fact that you know them helps you write a more well-rounded and believable character. Visit https://www.writerswrite.com/journal/jun98/how-to-create-a-character-profile-6986 for a more comprehensive list of things you can include in the character profile. Did you start your project with a great story idea? Or are you being driven by an awesome character and aren’t quite sure of the plot yet? There is no right answer! But it’s helpful to think about where you think the story is going and how your character lives in that world. Add these details to your character profile. For example, if you have an awesome idea for a love story and you know some of the twists and turns it’ll take, write them out and see if your character fits into those moments. If you need a protagonist who is romantic and plans extravagant gestures, it probably wouldn’t make sense if your character is forgetful or sloppy.

Studies have shown that by increasing the amount of water that you drink, you can also increase your metabolic rate by as much as 40%. This increase may be a result of your body’s attempt to heat the water that you are ingesting, but the reason for the increase is unclear. Our bodies also often confuse thirst and hunger, so it is important to stay hydrated for that reason as well. Coffee has been shown to increase metabolism because of the caffeine content. One study showed that drinking coffee significantly increased the metabolic rate of both normal weight and obese subjects. Keep in mind that the metabolic effects of caffeine are small compared to other measures like exercise. Excess consumption of caffeine can also cause nervousness, insomnia, and other negative side effects. Combining green tea (even decaf green tea) with diet and exercise can improve your metabolic rate. One study showed that combining decaffeinated green tea extract with exercise created more dramatic results than exercise alone. Consider adding decaffeinated green tea extract or drinking a cup or two of green tea as a complement to your diet and exercise regimen. Crash diets dramatically restrict your caloric intake, which can have a negative effect on your metabolism. Even though you may experience some initial weight loss from a crash diet, crash diets ultimately slow down your metabolism and often lead to gaining more weight after the fact. Crash diets can also cause you to become deficient in some important nutrients due to the limitations that they place on the variety of your food intake.

TL;DR in English: Drink plenty of water. Drink coffee. Drink green tea. Follow a healthy diet, not a crash diet.

Separating from a spouse almost always reduces your income and increases your expenses. Accordingly, you need to create a budget, preferably before you separate. You can make a budget with your wife. However, since you will be living alone, you really need to take control of financial decision-making yourself.  Look at all sources of income. If you are staying with the children, you can expect child support payments from your wife. But these can take time to establish. Also, you should ideally manage to support yourself as best as you can without relying on your spouse. Take a hard look at your expenses. If you were used to splitting the cost of car insurance, food, and entertainment with your wife, you will now be entirely responsible for those. Your individual expenses could increase as a result. You will need a cushion to help you transition to your single life. Ideally, you should save at least three months of expenses. This amount will give you time to set up your new life. Any balance on a joint credit card is generally the responsibility of both you and your wife. You want to make sure that no new expenses are added to the card. Call up the credit card company and ask that no new charges be allowed on the card. If necessary, you can close the card. You also should try to get a credit card in your own name. You should not use any joint card after you separate. Once you decide to separate, you don’t want your wife cleaning out the joint bank account. For this reason, you should move quickly to either close the account or require that both spouses provide signatures before money can be removed.  Call up your bank and ask how you can limit withdrawals. Also cancel overdraft lines and lines of credit. Make sure to have any direct deposit routed to a new bank account. This may take some time to go through so start as soon as possible. If you need your wife to agree to close the account, then you should find a good time to talk and raise the issue with her. You could say, “Since we’re living apart, I think it...

You won't be able to drive a ball over the batter's eye in center field just be reading articles online at home. You'll need to get into the gym and work on building up and reinforcing the most important key to your swing - your body. While a massive chest, broad shoulders, and bulging biceps look impressive, a powerful swing actually requires other muscles. While the swinging seems to be done by your upper body, your upper body is mostly a vehicle for delivering the power that your legs generate. Work on improving lower body strength. Powerful, multi-joint moves like squats, lunges, and cleans are a great way to build up functional lower body strength. Abs, obliques, and your lower back muscles are necessary for stabilizing your upper body and delivering the power generated by your legs through contact with the ball. A weak core will compromise the kinetic chain from your lower body to the head of the bat. While biceps may look good at the beach, they do little for your baseball swing. Strong wrists and a strong grip, on the other hand, add both stability and bat speed to your swing. Don't neglect them. There is a reason why athletes from all-star baseball sluggers to NFL running backs and receivers take yoga and dance classes to give them an edge in their sports. You should do the same.  Focusing on flexibility through exercises like yoga, which builds core strength and stability as well as increases range of motion.   By making your body more flexible you'll boost your reaction time and bat speed in addition to keeping your kinetic chain fluid and powerful. While the effects of learning to relax are physical, the process is mental. Some athletes use meditation or yoga to relax, some repeat reassuring phrases or mantras. Sluggers and hitting coaches know that trying to hit a home run with every swing is a sure-fire way to start a hitting slump.  Find what your mind needs in order to help yourself relax and stay focused. Relaxation will both eliminate distractions from your mind and allow your body to be...

TL;DR in English: Head to the gym. Strengthen your legs. Don't neglect your core. Build your grip and forearms. Focus on flexibility. Learn to relax.

Having a game plan for what you and your family will be eating each week can be a game changer. With a meal plan, you will be more likely to eat healthy foods, even if you are on the go. Sit down with your family once a week and make a plan for what you will be eating at each meal during the upcoming week. Once you have your healthy meal plan put together, you will need to make a shopping list. Go through all the recipes you will be making and list all of the ingredients you will need to make your meals. Be sure to go through your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer to see what ingredients you already have on hand. Making sure your kitchen is stocked with healthy food is one of the most important parts of successfully preparing healthy meals. Pick a day that you can make a weekly shopping trip, and make it part of your weekly schedule. When you come home from a long day of work, chopping and preparing ingredients for a healthy dinner can seem overwhelming. You can get ahead of the game by taking an hour or two on the weekend and prepping ingredients for your meals.  For example, you can chop the veggies you'll need for weeknight dinners on the weekend. If you're planning on making meals with rice, you can try cooking a big batch on the weekend. You can make the most of your time in the kitchen by giving batch cooking a chance. Batch cooking is when you prepare multiple portions of several meals that you will eat at a later date. You can store the portions in your refrigerator to eat later in the week, or in your freezer if you plan on consuming them later that month. You can be even more successful at preparing healthy meals on the go if you have a plan for your leftovers. For example, you can use Monday's leftover roasted pork in Tuesday's pork barbecue sandwiches. Crockpots will do the cooking for you while you are at work, school, or running errands. For example, you can place four chicken breasts and a can of salsa in a crockpot for 4 hours on low heat. When you come home, shred the chicken and place in...

Thresh the lentils to shake them loose from the plant. Remove pods by hand if any remain after threshing. Winnow the lentils to remove the chaff and other debris. Store the lentils in a dry, cool place.

You won't see the result immediately, but keeping a dryer garden is the best method for long-term slug control. Here are some tactics for making your garden less friendly to the damp-loving pests:  Water plants in the early to mid morning, so the soil dries before nightfall.  Install drip irrigation to minimize water use. Keep the yard free of debris, and mow the lawn regularly. Avoid organic mulches, such as straw or grass clippings. Space plants far enough apart to allow air flow between them. The following plant preparations all deter slugs to some extent, if you can find them in your local gardening store:  Oak leaf mulch or tobacco stem meal, spread as a barrier around plants Wormwood tea, made from steeping artemisia cuttings in warm water for 24 hours. Strain and combine with soapy water, then spray onto soil or slugs. Purchase strips of copper foil wide enough that the slugs can’t bridge it with their bodies. Use them to form a barricade around your plants or planting beds. Young children may cut themselves on the strips. Spread salt on the surface where the slugs are crawling around to kill them by drawing out moisture. Be aware that salt can easily kill plants and ruin soil. Use this around the base of potted plants on a porch, or place a barrier on the soil prior to spreading the salt in order to protect the integrity of the soil. Avoid using salt in situations where it can come into the contact with water (like when rainy weather is likely or a sprinkler is running). Water can dissolve salt and wash it off of "safe" surfaces and into the soil, harming soil quality. Frustrated gardeners have thrown just about any substance in their garden to try to keep slugs away. The following are the best of these homemade solutions, but are unlikely to deter 100% of slugs:  Coffee grounds may have mild effects on the health of your garden. Sharp, coarse sand scrapes against slugs, but may not deter them completely. Seaweed is not as effective as plain salt, but perhaps a little safer for your soil. Calcified...

TL;DR in English: Keep your garden dry. Create mulch or tea from certain plants. Make a copper strip barrier. Sprinkle salt on non-soil surfaces. Build folk remedy barriers. Grow plants that deter slugs. Consider using more powerful (but more hazardous) barriers.

A kerf is just a saw cut, and kerfing means cutting a series of these slits so your wood can bend. The result is much weaker than other methods of bending wood, but it keeps the wood permanently flexible along that curve. It is also the fastest approach, and does not require special equipment. The cuts must be against the grain to reduce the chance of splitting the wood. Use a table saw to make these cuts along the part of the wood you'd like to bend. Space your cuts evenly (and close together) with a jig, or use a visual indicator on your table to get a consistent distance between cuts. In order to bend your wood more than a slight curve, you'll need to cut almost entirely through the wood. Leave only a thin edge to hold the wood together. Bend the wood so the "spines" left by your cut touch, forming a single stress-bearing edge. You can now keep the bend in place by fastening the two ends of the lumber to a stable object. Remember that this is a weak bend, and do not rely on it to support much weight or stress. If you want to hide the gaps left by the saw, plug them with wood filler that matches your lumber. Alternatively, leave the wood as-is if you prefer the aesthetic, or if you would like to bend it to different angles.

TL;DR in English: Plan your project. Cut a series of grooves against the grain. Cut almost to the edge of the wood. Bend the wood inward. Fill the kerfs if desired.

There are many ways you can thresh the lentils. You can start with small stems and rub the plants between your hands until the lentils fall off. Or you can put the lentils in a bag or pillowcase. Hit the bag with a stick or walk on top of the bag to free the lentils. Threshing can also help shell the lentils, breaking them away from their pods. You can also remove the lentils by hand. If they are mature, they should come off easily when you pull them from the plant. Since this can be time consuming, only do this for lentils that did not come off from shaking the plant.  Try rubbing off any remaining pods. Put the stem in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to separate the lentils. If the lentils don't fall off easily, they may not be ripe enough. Try leaving them on a drying rack for a few days. Get 2 buckets that can hold your harvest. Stand outside and pour the lentils into 1 bucket. Lift up the bucket and pour the lentils into the second bucket. Keep pouring the lentils between the buckets until most of the chaff blows away.  When you pour the lentils into the bucket, chaff blows away in the wind while the heavier lentils remain in the buckets. If you can't go outside, stand in front of a fan on a low setting. Chaff includes leaves, stems, and other bits of dirt that might become mixed in with the lentils. It can also include shattered seed bits. Keep dried lentils in a jar or plastic container, preferably one that is airtight. Put the container in a pantry, cabinet, or another dry place. Dried lentils will last for about 10-12 months if stored properly. It can be difficult to tell when lentils have gone bad. If they appear hard and brittle or if they take longer to cook than normal, you may wish to toss them.

Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of fluids. Try to avoid being around people for a couple of days. Use a humidifier. Purchase lozenges or gargle saltwater for a sore throat. See a doctor if you have preexisting health conditions that could make your infection worse.

It’s a good idea to store any travel documents, visas and passports in a special pouch or bag where you won’t misplace them. Be sure to bring refills of any medicines that you won’t be able to replace while you’re traveling, along with toiletries that are must-haves and will be hard to find when you get there. A journal and camera are important so you can keep memories from your trip for years to come. If you’re bringing a tablet, this can double as a journal, and potentially a camera. Otherwise consider a small, point-and-shoot camera. Don’t forget that extra memory card and battery.  We all have our trusty chap stick that we absolutely can’t live without. So if you’re worried you could run out and not be able to find an essential item on your trip, pack an extra to be safe.  Back up credit or debit cards and a photocopy of your passport and visa could come in handy if you happen to misplace these items or they are stolen. If your allergies occasionally flair up or you tend to get migraines, make sure you’re better safe than sorry and pack appropriate medications. As a bonus you can also use this to carefully consider what you’ll need for each activity or stop on your trip. You’ll be able to easily anticipate what each day will bring. You may even notice a few items to eliminate because they won't be of use.  If you aren’t entirely sure what will come in handy for each stop on your trip, research online reviews to find out what others say about the experience and what they wish they’d brought. For instance, find out if a boat trip you’re planning to take provides sunscreen and towels or if this is something you’ll need to pack.  Comfortable shoes may be the single most important item you pack. Typically this includes a pair that ties and has arch support, although it varies by person. Bring articles of clothing that aren’t too specific and will match with multiple items you packed. This way you won’t need to worry about what’s clean and what needs washing. Plan to bring three pairs of socks, underwear, and...

TL;DR in English: First pack items that you know you can’t live without. Print out your itinerary to reference once you arrive at your destination and to help you stay organized from day-to-day. Pack in threes. Consider the culture and dress code for where you’re traveling and pack accordingly. Find a reputable guidebook and foreign language phrasebook. Be prepared with appropriate containers and zip lock bags to make going through airport security a breeze. Bring books, music, your laptop and anything else to entertain you during the lengthy flight, layover, and potential delays.

To cook your own pumpkin seeds, you must start with raw seeds, and the best place to get these is a fresh pumpkin. Cut open your pumpkin by cutting off the top and quartering it, or by cutting an angled hole around the stem. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Transfer the seeds to a colander and rinse them under running water. Pick through with your fingers to remove the stringy bits and orange flesh. Toss the seeds to remove excess water. The easiest way to toast pumpkin seeds is to cook them in a frying pan. Place a dry 10-inch skillet over medium heat and let it preheat for two to three minutes. A dry frying pan means there is no oil or other liquid in it. Add the pumpkin seeds to the hot frying pan and spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Cook the seeds for four to five minutes.  As the seeds cook, toss them around in the pan or stir them with a wooden spoon every minute. The seeds are ready when they become golden brown and puff up. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the warm seeds to a bowl. Drizzle in the oil, add the spices, and toss to coat. You can season the seeds with a pinch of:  Salt Pepper Cinnamon Curry powder Herbs, such as rosemary or thyme

TL;DR in English: Collect and clean the seeds. Heat the frying pan. Toast the seeds. Season with oil and spices before serving.

When your body gets infected with a virus, it works overtime to keep functioning while also fighting off your infection. Because of this, it's important to rest. Take a day or two off work or school and do low-energy activities like watching a movie or sleeping in bed. Resting will allow your body to focus all of its energy on overcoming the virus. Other low-energy activities you can do if you can’t sleep include:  Reading a book, catching up on your favorite TV show, listening to music in bed, and calling someone on the phone. Be aware that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and that, in general, you need to simply rest and allow your body to combat the virus. Viral infections generally lead to dehydration (as a result of water lost through mucus production and fever). When you become dehydrated, your symptoms will get worse; it's a vicious cycle that you should try to break out of by drinking plenty of liquids. Drink water, tea, natural juice, and drinks with electrolytes to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as these types of drinks can actually dehydrate you further. Viruses are contagious, which means that you can actually pass the virus to others, making them sick as well. Being around other people can also put you at risk of being exposed to other microorganisms like bacteria, which could make you more sick than you already are.  Take at least two days off of work or school to avoid getting other people sick. If you absolutely have to go into work or school, wear a mask to prevent others from becoming infected. The mask will prevent contagious particles from spreading through the air, especially if you are coughing or sneezing. Using a humidifier, particularly in your room at night as you try to fall asleep, can help to ease symptoms of congestion and cough. This will help you to sleep better, and a better quality sleep equates to improved healing capacity. Be sure that your humidifier is clean to prevent any air contamination (such as with molds)...

Know how anxiety can feel. Watch for feelings of nervousness or powerlessness. Pay attention to the physical manifestations. Note how much it affects your life. Understand anxiety can appear in different ways.

Set up your two equations in standard format and look at the coefficients of each of your variables. You are looking for the circumstance where the numbers are the same but the signs are different.  Consider this example:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19}   By examination, you should see that the first equation contains the term −3y{\displaystyle -3y}, while the second equation contains the term 3y{\displaystyle 3y}. These two terms are opposites of each other. Working across the system from left to right, add each term of the first equation to the corresponding term of the second equation. It may be helpful simply to draw a long horizontal line across the bottom of the two equations and add downward, as you would with any ordinary addition problem. The above example works out as follows:  x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5} 2x+3y=19{\displaystyle 2x+3y=19} ------------------------- 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} Because you were adding, and one of your terms contained opposites, then one of the variables should be eliminated from the problem. Rewrite what you have left as a single equation.  In the example above, the y{\displaystyle y} variable was eliminated. The remaining equation is 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24}. Because one of the variables gets eliminated in this method, as with the prior subtraction method, some textbooks will refer to this as the “elimination” method of solving a system of equations. What you have left should be a fairly simple, one-variable equation. Solve it by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient. In the example above, divide both sides of 3x=24{\displaystyle 3x=24} by 3. You will be left with the solution x=8{\displaystyle x=8}. Take that solution, in our example x=8, and substitute it in place of x{\displaystyle x} in either one of the original equations. Choose the first equation:   x−3y=5{\displaystyle x-3y=5}          (original equation)  8−3y=5{\displaystyle 8-3y=5}          (insert value of x) -3y={\displaystyle 3y=}-3{\displaystyle 3}      ...

If your toe is fractured, it's going to hurt when you put your weight on it, or when pressed on. You will probably still be able to walk, but moving around might make the pain worse. The presence of pain does not necessarily mean that the toe is broken, but persistent pain can be an indication of a fracture or break.  If putting weight on your toe is excruciatingly painful, you might have a bad break.  In this case, you should see a doctor right away. Minor fractures aren't as painful, and may not need medical treatment. Tingling in addition to pain could indicate a fracture. See a doctor right away.

TL;DR in English: Assess your pain level.

You may feel like everything is going wrong or is about to go wrong, and you can do nothing to stop it. Alternatively, you may feel a sense of panic about the situations in your life.  Some people feel like they are always on edge or that everything in life can lead to something horrible.  Some people have panic attacks, which are a sudden onset of fear that can feel overwhelming. Though everyone feels anxious from time to time, anxiety that is persistent and pervasive is a bit more serious. If you have had major anxiety in your life for half a year or more, you should talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety doesn't just manifest in psychological ways; you'll also notice physical symptoms. For instance, you may shake, sweat, or breathe too quickly. You may also have a rapid heart beat. In addition, you could feel very tired, or you may not be able to focus on what you need to do. You could also have symptoms such as stomach problems, dizziness, headaches, or even chest pain. If you are just upset by anxiety every once and a while with few side effects, that likely means you don't have an anxiety disorder. However, if your anxiety affects your life everyday, whether by consuming your thoughts or stopping you from doing things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Depending on the type of disorder you have, your anxiety can look somewhat different. In addition, what triggers it can vary widely from person to person, or it may have no trigger at all.  Generalized anxiety disorder means you may feel excessive worry about your everyday life, even if nothing bad is happening at the moment. Panic disorder is when you suddenly have attacks of fear or anxiety that often last for just a few minutes but can last much longer. Social phobia is essentially a fear of being embarrassed. This embarrassment may keep you from doing certain things or going where you may want to go because you're afraid you'll do something embarrassing.

What do you want your movie to be about? Do you want an exciting adventure? Do you want a fantasy story? Do you want a love story? You could also try action, mystery, or science fiction.  If you're not sure where to start, think about your favorite movies. You don't want to copy them, but you can make a similar movie. You can also mix and match ideas. You don't have to choose just one! But, try not to let it get too crazy. Save some ideas for the next movie. You can even make a movie based on one of your favorite books or stories! The main character is the person who leads the story. For instance, in the film Brave, Merida is the main character. She's the hero, and the story is all about what happens to her and what decisions she makes.  You can have more than one main character, such as Nemo and Marlin in Finding Nemo.  Basically, your main character will drive the story forward. Your movie is all about them and what they do. "Story" is also known as "plot." Basically, it's just what happens. Writing it down in a few short sentences can help keep you focused.  Think about what happens to your main character. Maybe you want them to go on a journey to find treasure. That's the end of the story, so your sentences could be: "Jessie finds a map in her attic with a mysterious place marked on it. She decides to find the place! Along the way, she meets Robbie, a very smart young boy in the neighborhood, and they follow the map and find treasure." You can also write it as "What if?" statement, such as "What if a girl finds a map in her attic that leads her to a buried treasure?" When first starting your story, your character is going through normal life. They need something to set them off on a journey, such as the map in the example. They need to be working towards something, which results in the high point of the story, called the climax. The climax is the most exhilarating part of the story. It's the point where a suspect is about to get caught in a mystery, or in our case, it could be the point where Jessie finds...

The Law of Cosines allows you to solve any triangle when you know two side lengths and measurement of the angle between them. It works on any triangle, and is a very useful formula. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c, with opposite angles A, B, and C:   c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(C). The first side that you know should be labeled a, and the angle opposite it is A.  The second side that you know should be labeled b; the angle opposite it is B.  The angle that you know should be labeled C, and the third side, the one you need to solve in order to find the perimeter of the triangle, is side c. For example, imagine a triangle with side lengths 10 and 12, and an angle between them of 97°.  We will assign variables as follows: a = 10, b = 12, C = 97°. You will first need to find the squares of a and b, and add them together.  Then find the cosine of C using the cos function on your calculator, or an online cosine calculator. Multiply cos(C) by 2ab and subtract the product from the sum of a2 + b2.  The result is c2.  Find the square root of this value and you have the length of side c.  Using our example triangle:   c2 = 102 + 122 - 2 × 10 × 12 × cos(97).  c2 = 100 + 144 – (240 × -0.12187)  (Round the cosine to 5 decimal places.) c2 = 244 – (-29.25)  c2 = 244 + 29.25  (Carry the minus symbol through when cos(C) is negative!) c2 = 273.25 c = 16.53 Recall that Perimeter P = a + b + c, so all you need to do is add the length you just calculated for side c to the values you already had for a and b. In our example: 10 + 12 + 16.53 = 38.53, the perimeter of our triangle!
